Every now and again, YouTube likes to show me Johnny Carson interviews that go in a completely different direction than they were intended to go. And they are a laugh-out-loud riot.
Yesterday, Bradley Cooper was on The Tonight Show, and Jimmy Fallon and he talked about the actor’s 30th high school reunion. That conversation should not have been funny. But for some reason, they couldn’t stop laughing.
It was not Carson-level funny. Not even close. But it should be enough to make Cooper a little more likable after revealing he is a dick of a director who didn’t think people needed to sit between takes of his film Maestro.
Bradley Cooper has brought his mom as a date to a few red carpet events, but yesterday, he showed up to the Maestro premiere with his daughter.
There is a special reason why he brought Lea with him. The 6-year-old makes her acting debut in the critically acclaimed movie, as you guessed it, his character’s daughter.
Maestro is a towering and fearless love story chronicling the lifelong relationship between Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein. A love letter to life and art, Maestro at its core is an emotionally epic portrayal of family and love.
And the proud pop showed an epic portrayal of family and love by bringing his awwwdorable little girl with him yesterday.
Bear Grylls is getting ready to run wild again with some celebrities, and today National Geographic announced who is going along with him on the crazy ride starting on July 9th. So who are they? They are Russell Brand, Bradley Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch, Daveed Diggs, Cynthia Erivo, Troy Kostur, Tatiana Maslany, and Rita Ora.
A few days ago, Howard Stern announced that he considering running for President of the United States so he could stack the supreme court and get rid of the electoral college.
Today, the Shock Jock announced who his running mate will be, and that person will bring in the women’s vote. Who is it? It is Bradley Cooper. And Stern is right; they have my vote. Do they have your support?
Bradley Cooper has been part of awards season since 2013, and I don’t expect to see him part of it anymore. It is not because his acting has suddenly declined. It is about an interview he did for Interview with In the Heights’ Anthony Ramos.
Ramos mentioned awards season and Cooper had this to say, “That awards season stuff is a real test. It’s set up to foster that mentality. It’s quite a thing to work through, and it’s completely devoid of artistic creation. It’s not why you sacrifice everything to create art, and yet you spend so much time being a part of it if you’re, in quotes, ‘lucky enough to be a part of it.’” Then he added, “It’s ultimately a great thing because it really does make you face ego, vanity, and insecurity. It’s very interesting and utterly meaningless.”
I don’t think the Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe, Tony, SAG Awards, and all the other award voters are going to like what he said. We know they are all elitists who don’t like anyone knocking them.
